Neuroscience

“It's like we could kind of run experiments on the brain, observe every neuron in it, reset its state to prior states, and run counterfactuals, none of which we can do with humans, and yet we still understand neither very well. Even with that, all that ability,…”

“Neuroscience shows you're burning the exact dopamine your brain needs for execution. It can't tell the difference.”

“Neuroscience has taught us emotion gets into our brains differently than information. Gets in faster, stays longer, motivates behavior.”

“But I think one of the interesting things that's come out of progress in artificial intelligence is we're seeing this big unification in neuroscience and AI. I think we're actually learning a lot from AI research, more than I think we thought we would learn fr…”

“Brain-computer interface research and development is limited by your ability to record and stimulate these signals. The neuroscience, comparatively, is actually pretty simple. As soon as you can record the signals, we've very quickly figured out what, we talk …”

“Many people in neuroscience have gone over to AI because they're basically still doing neuroscience, but it's just way easier to do it on the models.”

“When you look inside these AI models, you see These mathematical objects that look a lot like what you see in the brain in neuroscience. Like, the representations are converging, and this is an empirical finding.”

“I would definitely study philosophy of mind. I would probably go into neuroscience. Cause I think those are the core questions that are kind of become very, very important as AI kind of continuously more of jobs and economy and things like that.”

“I would say that interpretability is a lot more like biology. It's a lot more like neuroscience. So I think those are kind of the tools. There is some more, more, more mathematics there, but I think it's more like trying to understand the features of the brain…”

“This data set, even though it's heavily based around these kinds of chemical perturbations of cancer, they also, these pathways are so conserved and fundamental that they broadly apply to the neuroscience space or like to just immune cell development in genera…”

“Neuroscience tells us it takes under 60 seconds to course correct. From stress.”

“There's nothing more effective to clearing negatives than just calling out the elephant in the room, not denying it, not explaining it, just calling it out. That is neuroscience, Proven the best way to get rid of negatives.”

“When it comes to math, it's like, ah, let's not talk about how the neuroscience supports the fact that you also need practice and repetition for math, because it, then you start getting into the math wars.”

“Neuroscience and artificial intelligence and the stuff that I think within our lifetime, Nathan, will kind of tinker us beyond sentience and intelligence as we know it today into something kind of post-human and I don't think that's going to be in the next two…”
